But I didn’t actually defend Trump. I just asked a question.

“Rubio was the first real tea party victory over the GOP e.”

No, he wasn’t. He was a perfect illustration of how the GOPE infiltrates races with false tea party candidates, and frustrates and defeats the tea party with lies and liars.

In this current primary there are numerous examples of false conservative candidates being pushed by the GOP. In fact that describes about 90%+ of them or more.

Agreed.

We got duped again.

Now come on dude, that's just patently absurd and demonstrably wrong. The establishment hadn't even noticed the tea party when Rubio ran. You're about 5 years off the reservation here. They didn't even get that strategy up and running until 2014 really. Maybe some in 2012. But it wasn't even on the radar in 2010.

I don't know what's so damned hard about looking at the good and the bad in a candidate. But it seems like 99% around here can't do that. Rubio did us all a huge favor. And he's been a turn coat since then. BOTH ARE TRUE. Why are people so insecure that they can't see objectively?
